English Youth Ballet presents Swan Lake
31 October 2025 - 1 November 2025ABOUT
The award-winning English Youth Ballet presents an electrifying adaptation of Swan Lake. Their acclaimed production is set in 1895 Imperial Russia and tells of love, rivalry, greed and murder. The action takes place in the Mariinsky Theatre - where the Mariinsky Ballet are preparing for the first-ever production of Swan Lake. Two unlikely lovers meet Odette, a dancer with the Mariinsky Ballet and Prince Sergei, son to the Tsar. The Tsar must ensure that Prince Sergei does not marry beneath his station. Equally, the tyrannical Baron Von Rothbart would do anything to secure a royal patronage for his ballet company. He would even manipulate his own daughter – Odile – to compete for the affections of the Prince.
